TASTING NOTES: Wine Rating: RP 92 points Drink by: 2011 - 2031 It reveals sweet licorice, black currant and blackberry fruit notes intermixed with truffle and asphalt characteristics in its pure, rich, opulent, full-bodied personality. One of the finest St.-Emilions of the vintage. |
"For centuries, the ancient ‘Camp Fortet’ (small fort) with its modest profile has overlooked the historic town of Saint-Emilion, peacefully surveying it in times of prosperity, protecting it in times of war. The 20-hectare vineyard forms a single plot, planted upon the highest slopes of Western Saint-Emilion. Constructed from the very rock upon which it stands, the Château and its surrounding wall (hence ‘clos’) are intimate and unassuming.
Ever since the beginning of the classification in 1956, Clos Fourtet has been a member of the elite ‘Premiers Grands Crus Classes’ of Saint-Emilion."
